Eugene Advances to Round 3 Monday, October 3rd , 2050 Eugene center fielder Ernest Walker couldn't hide his reaction when asked about being named MVP of the Round 2. "It's a nice honor," he said, failing to suppress a wide smile. The trophy was presented to Walker moments after his club eliminated the Estes Park Elderhorns to advance to the Round 3. Eugene won the final game by a score of 4-1 at Elderhorns Ballpark and took the series 4-2. "We won the series and that's the main thing," Walker said. "They were a tough team and we didn't want to take anything for granted." For the series, Walker hit .333 with a .417 on-base percentage. He had 2 home runs, drove in 5 RBI and scored 4 runs. "He was tough to stop and that's a big reason they're there and we're here," said a dejected Estes Park manager Art Gabbert. The Eugene Exploding Whales don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Rochester River Sharks - Kinsale Fisherman series. Kinsale leads the series 3 games to 2. The Round 3 schedule will be announced after the Round 2 finishes. View Boxscore |
